Three picture frames of various sizes with papers on display inside. One is a blue 8x11 copy of 'Grand Parade Newspaper'. Beside it is a 12x12 frame with a newspaper clipping of the Chronicle Herald newspaper. Under that is a quote from Hamilton the musical which reads 'you built me palaces out of paragraphs'

Fitting timing for me to have finally framed my interview with @thechronicleherald.bsky.social & my mention in @grandparade.bsky.social for my participation in Halifax's budget debates on the day of its ratification. I never dreamed I would be this invested in municipal politics, but here we are!

I reached out to the city about this a few months ago to check in on the library wifi, that is staying :-)

When shifting your laptop a little on your desk is a semi-reliable way to make it freeze and need a hard reset, are you calling that a bug or a feature?

Go read words by the legendary Gabrielle Drapeau!

I think the key to taking the bus is taking a breath and accepting that if you’re not 30 minutes early you will be 15 minutes late. And then hope your colleagues/ friends/ date/ boss has also taken transit before.

It’s a risky beat but it’s not going away, I’m glad Gilmore hasn’t been deterred by these intimidation tactics.

Here’s my (frighteningly vulnerable!!) follow up on my reporting that exposed a white nationalist active club.

On the professional and personal costs of this work:

What's up democracy superfans!

I am in chambers and council is debating budget. I'm late 'cause I forgot my truck was setup for hockey not bike riding. A/CAO Anguish just gave a presentation saying TL:DR: Bad news, we're fucked! Good news, for the first time in 45 years council is dealing with it

Radio station(?????)

Do you know anyone applying for a Canadian post-graduate work permit? PSA! Don’t be fooled by the fact that there’s no section to submit your English test score. Submit your English test score in the “optional documents” section or else live out a mini version of Kafka’s The Trial.

Culture wars are expensive.

You take the best council photos!

Who says legal documents aren’t interesting?

Okay but did you figure out how much you were going to spend before you went to the checkout? Or filled the cart and then thought about if you really need things like vegetables and toothpaste next week?
